Possibly the biggest music awards of the year is the Grammys, and the 68th Annual Grammy Awards takes place on Sunday, February 1 for all to see.

Quick links: The Grammys streams

US: CBS channels or Paramount Plus- Event begins at at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PTUK: No streams - Event begins at 1am (Feb 2)AU: Stan- Event begins at at midday AEDT (Feb 2)Watch from abroad: NordVPN

A whole host of performers are expected to take to the stage at the Crypto.com arena during the Grammys ceremony. Sabrina Carpenter is set to perform, as are Pharrell Williams and Clipse in collaboration. All eight nominees for Best New Artist will also perform a medley, though no songs have been confirmed just yet.

As well as performances, expect to see plenty of awards handed out. The full nominees list has just under 100 awards, as well as some special merit accolades, though not all will be handed out during the event. Two new awards are making their debut in 2026: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover.

Eyes will be on the biggest awards though, like Song of the Year, Album of the Year and the ‘Best’ categories of each genre. Kendrick Lamar leads the nominees list with nine nominations but the likes of Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny and Tyler, The Creator all have at least six.

Watching the Grammy Awards live is often a little tricky, especially if you live abroad, but we’ll help you find a way to watch the 2026 Grammys.

How to watch the Grammys in the US

To live stream the 2026 Grammy Awards in the US, you have a fair few options, whether you want to do so online or on TV.

The awards begin at 8 pm ET or 5 pm PT, and on TV they'll be shown on the CBS channel.

Online, you can watch the proceedings using the Paramount Plus streaming service; just note that you'll need to be on the Premium tier, which costs $13.99 per month.

Not on Premium? Subscribers to the Essential tier will be able to watch the Grammy awards on demand from February 2.

One of the draws of the Grammys is the premiere ceremony, and you don't need to have Paramount Plus to see this — it's free. It begins at 3.30 pm ET / 12.30 pm PT, and you can watch it on YouTube or the Grammys website.

How to watch the Grammys in the UK

Once again, the UK has been left out of The Grammys streaming party with no official coverage planned. Paramount+ viewers may be able to catch up on the event the next day, and certain pre-show proceedings can be found across Paramount's service and socials.

How to watch the Grammys in Australia

While the Grammy Awards can be hard to find broadcasted internationally, one place they are showing is Australia. It's at a reasonable time too, with the event kicking off at midday AEDT on February 2.

The event is streaming on the Stan service, a streamer which costs $12 per month for a subscription, and to which you can sign up here.

The 68th Grammy Awards will also be available to watch on-demand via Stan, if you can't see it live.

How to watch the Grammys online with a VPN

In most other regions, there's no official broadcast information for the 2026 Grammys. That's no surprise, because the awards show usually doesn't get broadcast outside of the US.

If you're not somewhere where you can access your normal TV set-up, then you'll want to use a Virtual Private Network or VPN to watch the Grammys.

You use a VPN to change your IP address from your current region, to another one. This means you can tune into your local streaming service when you're not in the country, and that'll help you stream the Grammys when you're abroad. Our go-to is NordVPN and we've tested many of the best VPNs for gaming.

Your Grammy 2026 questions answered

(Image credit: NBC)

Where do the Grammys take place?

The 68th Grammys are set to take place at the Staples Arena, currently known as the Crypto.com Arena due to sponsorship reasons.

The Grammys have been hosted at this Los Angeles arena plenty of times in the past; the 2026 event will mark its 23rd hosting of the show.

Who's hosting the 2026 Grammys?

Like last year, Trevor Noah is set to host the 2026 Grammys. In fact, this is his sixth consecutive year hosting the music awards.

However it's been confirmed that the South African comedy host won't be returning in 2027, so this is his last year.

Who's performing at the 2026 Grammys?

There are three confirmed musical acts for the 2026 Grammys, not counting any surprise acts. None of the songs have been announced yet.

First up is Sabrina Carpenter, with the Espresso singer also nominated for plenty of awards. A duo of performers will also take the stage as Pharrell Williams and Clipse are set to perform too.

As always the Best New Artist nominees will also perform a medley. The nominees are Addison Rae, Alex Warren, Katseye, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, Sombr and The Marias, and all are confirmed to join in.
